So grateful for Allen Gabe

When I was facing my divorce, I was afraid and dreaded the entire process. I am so grateful I had Allen by my side. He was extremely professional and responsive, and truly made me feel that I had an advocate and protector throughout the entire process. His advice was invaluable. And, he was exce...llent at keeping all parties accountable and on pace. He was also very kind and compassionate - always knowing when to mix in just enough humor to alleviate a stressful moment. Thank you Allen for navigating me through a very difficult situation to a very positive outcome. I would recommend Allen to all of my friends and family for any legal need that may arise.

Best Attorney for Best Outcome

If you want the best outcome, get the best attorney. That's Allen Gabe. My friend and business colleague confided in me about how Allen handled his divorce and child custody issues with extraordinary skill and compassion. I had seen Allen at a good number of business functions such as Rotary and... found him to always be so professional yet accessible. So when I found myself in an emergency situation requiring family law expertise, I Googled then called Allen -- from my car. He said, can you come in now? I said yes. We met for an hour, he emailed me a draft petition that night, and then the next morning -- Christmas Eve, no less -- he promptly met me at the Courthouse and efficiently handled my matter, easily navigating the various clerks, forms, windows, etc., also easing my nerves along the way. The matter continued and so did Allen's expert counsel. I trusted him from the start and my trust of Allen only grew from seeing him in action and how authentically caring he is. He was a master in court, read the judge from decades of experience, applied the statues protecting us, and was stealth when it came to cross-examining and presenting critical exhibits that allowed me to prevail in a maximum two-year order of protection for me and my children. It became clear the judge respects Allen and I was so fortunate to have him on my side. Unlike another attorney I engaged many years ago, Allen communicated just enough -- not too much to drive up fees but not so little that you're left wondering what's going on with your case. He also negotiated my interests very well with opposing counsel. He has earned to respect of his peers as well as the judges and clients. Allen's work is priceless. Thank you, Allen, for being the best attorney I ever had and achieving the best outcome for us. I'm going out of my way to let friends, family and colleagues know how you exceeded our expectations.

Family lawyer | Nov 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have been fortunate enough to work with Allen not just through the law but as a fellow member of the Northwest Suburban Bar Association and it is here, and in his other endeavors, where his personality as a lawyer shines through. Allen is the rare lawyer that genuinely cares about his community and this same commitment to his community is reflected in his attitude toward his clients. Put simply, Allen cares about his clients, their lives, and how the legal systems is going to impact their lives. This caring drives Allen to obtain favorable outcomes for his clients no matter in what area of the law he may be assisting them. It also separates Allen from the vast majority of lawyers and makes him worthy of any clients' trust."
